Except for a very small number of very special false infants, most of the false infant ancestors have absolute suppressive power over Jindan cultivators.
Not to mention that the Black Water Mystic Snake had just broken through the ninth level of the Golden Core, and was now seriously injured. Even if he recovered to his prime, it would be difficult for him to sustain twenty moves against the Xuan Gang Ancestor.
The only thing most of the Golden Core Great Perfection people can do when they encounter the False Infant Ancestor is to turn around and run for their lives. Whether they can succeed depends on whether they are good at escape techniques, otherwise the possibility of escaping is slim.
Even now, Ye Linyuan has no possibility of direct confrontation with the Fake Infant Ancestor. He can only rely on Wanhua Xiaoyaoyou's extreme speed to escape, so that he has a glimmer of hope.
Moreover, except for the slower fake babies like the fake turtle, Ye Linyuan would probably find it difficult to escape from the eyes of other fake baby ancestors.
"Now it seems that the Black Water Mystic Snake's enlightenment was part of the Five Elements Dao Sect's plan."
"They deliberately kept Meng Nanfeng from taking action, in order to hone the Black Water Mystic Snake and eventually capture and suppress it, making it their own mountain guardian spirit beast."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart. He knew some special methods that could control high-level spirit beasts to become his own guardian spirit beasts.
However, most of these methods are very domineering, such as controlling the heart blood or special spells, threatening the person's life to become a mountain guardian beast.
However, the mountain guardian beasts tamed in this way often have a certain possibility of rebellion, which is far less safe than Ye Linyuan's soul contract method.
After all, a spiritual beast that is raised from childhood with a soul contract will gradually become close to its master under the influence of the soul contract, and even regard the master as its parent or lover.
As long as you treat the spirit beast with sincerity and kindness, the relationship between the two sides will become closer and closer, and over time, they will develop deep feelings.
In this way, even if the master passes away in the future, the spirit beast can still become the patriarch of the sect. This is also the most mainstream method in the world of immortal cultivation.
However, for captured high-level monsters like the Black Water Serpent, there is no way to conclude a soul contract with it, and it can only be controlled by coercion and life and death.
But for the Five Elements Sect, this is nothing.
After all, capturing the Black Water Snake is a cost-free business, and the cost is much lower than cultivating it yourself with great effort.
Back to the topic, at this time, the Xuan Gang ancestor suppressed the Black Water Snake and was about to take it back to the Five Elements Continent.
But at this moment, the vast heaven and earth trembled, and the endless yellow sand in the distance began to disintegrate.
A pitch-black sky curtain spread out from outside the sky, swallowing up the vast yellow sand like an abyss, and finally reached the center of the battlefield, completely separating the entire ocean.
"Brother Xuan Gang, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
At this moment, a dark light broke through the sky and turned into a black dragon standing above the sky, calmly blocking Taoist Xuan Gang.
"The Netherworld Demonic Dragon."
Ye Linyuan looked at this scene and immediately recognized the origin of this dragon.
The Netherworld Evil Dragon has an extraordinary bloodline, and is the leader of the water-attributed demon dragons. It and the Chili Fire Dragon from Ye Linyuan's previous life are mutually reinforcing and counteracting, and are known as the leaders of the two water and fire dragons. It is a descendant of the true spirit with great potential.
The only dragon palace in the Cangling Sea that possesses the Netherworld Evil Dragon is the legendary Black Abyss Dragon Palace.
Different from the thunder bloodline of the Purple Jade Dragon Palace, this bloodline of the Black Abyss Dragon Palace is basically of water attribute. It is said that it is the bloodline bred from the combination of the Purple Lightning Dragon and a water-attributed demon king.
However, the one in front of him should also be the best among the Netherworld Evil Dragons. Unfortunately, it failed to transform into a dragon and did not transform into the legendary Black Evil Dragon. It stopped at the level of a fake infant and pseudo demon king.
As expected, when Taoist Xuan Gang saw this evil dragon blocking the way, his brows slightly frowned.
For the first time, he showed a bit of solemnity, and then said with a cold look: "My Five Elements Sect has been planning for hundreds of years. Does the Black Abyss Dragon Palace want to interfere?"
"Interfering?"
The Netherworld Demon Dragon smiled, then said indifferently: "The Black Water Mystical Snake is a member of my demon clan, so I will naturally take care of it."
"You, the Jiaolong clan, claim to be noble, but when did you degenerate and consider yourself a member of the demon clan?"
Ancestor Xuan Gang sneered and couldn't help but speak sarcastically.
The Netherworld Demon Dragon's eyes were slightly cold, and he said indifferently: "Don't bother with this, Daoist friend, please hand over the Black Water Mystical Snake."
"It seems that I have to do it again after all."
Patriarch Xuan Gang spoke calmly and then looked into the distance.
But when they saw three great golden elixir masters arriving from the sky, they all bowed to the Xuan Gang Patriarch.
"Three great Daoists of the Five Elements Sect."
Looking at the two of them, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but whisper in his heart.
There are five great Daoists in the Five Elements Sect in this generation, but only one of them has reached the great perfection of the Golden Elixir.
There were three people coming this time, two of them were at the eighth level of the Golden Core Realm, they were Fairy Huoyao and Taoist Xuanfeng.
The leader had reached the Great Perfection of Golden Elixir, and he was naturally the Great Daoist of the Five Elements, Chu Nanming. It was said that he was born with the Eight-Patterned Golden Elixir, and was the most talented person in the Five Elements Dao Sect in the past thousand years.
At this time, seeing the three great Daoists arrive, Patriarch Xuan Gang threw the Black Water Mystic Snake to them and said calmly, "Take the Black Water Mystic Snake back to the sect."
"As ordered."
The three great Taoists spoke, immediately pulled up the chain, and dragged the Black Water Snake away.
Upon seeing this, the Xuan Gang Patriarch looked at the Netherworld Demonic Dragon and said, "Don't you want a fight?"
"In that case, I will come to meet you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Xuan Gang Patriarch immediately summoned the pseudo-spiritual war spear and rushed towards the Netherworld Evil Dragon.
Seeing that a war was about to break out, Ye Linyuan had no interest in watching any further.
He knew very well that this time, the Black Abyss Dragon Palace had directly taken action to stop the Xuan Gang Patriarch for the sake of the Black Water Mystic Snake, and these methods were definitely not the only ones used.
Because once they did that, it would inevitably cause the Five Elements Taoist Sect to become enemies with them in advance, which would in turn affect their decision to take action against the underwater demons in this sea area.
By then, the alliance between the human race and the sea monsters will definitely have a certain impact on their attack on the Eastern Region.
Perhaps in the eyes of the Black Abyss Dragon Palace, the Five Elements Sect was not a big concern, but after all, they had made enemies with the Five Elements Sect in advance.
If we still return empty-handed and cannot bring back the Nascent Soul Seed of the Black Water Mystical Snake, then what is the point of the Netherworld Evil Dragon's action this time?
Therefore, Ye Linyuan concluded that the Black Abyss Dragon Palace must have more than one method.
"It's just right. I can see the skills of the Black Abyss Dragon Palace in advance."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, then flew away with the three great disciples of the Five Elements Taoist Sect.
Not long after he flew, he really realized something was wrong.
But above the endless sky, a group of black dragons broke through the air, and a total of thirty-six black dragon Taoist soldiers surrounded the three great Taoists.
In addition, there are thousands of shrimp soldiers and crab generals who have tightly surrounded this sea area.
In the center of the group of dragons, a chariot was floating in the sky, and on it stood a handsome young man wearing black and gold armor. He looked at the three Taoists calmly and said, "Hand over the Black Water Mystic Snake, and I will spare your lives."
"The Seventh Prince of the Black Abyss."
Chu Nanming looked at the black-armored young man and said solemnly, "Do you really want to go to war with our Eastern Region?"
"My name is Black Prison!"
The Black Prison Prince spoke calmly, holding a large spear in his hand and pointing it at Huo Yao, Xuan Feng, and Chu Nanming one by one, and finally spoke indifferently.
"I'll give you a chance, three of you come together."
"If you can defeat me, I will let you take the Black Water Mystic Snake out. If you fail, I will leave your lives behind."
"Insanity."
Xuan Feng was furious on the spot, his face full of murderous intent, but he was stopped by Fairy Huo Yao.
But Fairy Huoyao shook her head and said solemnly: "The enemy is numerous and we are few, so we must not be careless."
Taoist Xuan Feng looked around and realized that each of the Black Dragon Taoist soldiers had extraordinary cultivation, and the Black Dragon commander who was leading them had reached the eighth level of perfection in the Golden Elixir realm.
Facing such a group of Dragon Palace Taoist soldiers, if they really fight head-on, I'm afraid they will most likely not get out alive in the end.
Thinking of this, Taoist Xuan Feng took a deep breath and looked at Chu Nanming who was in the lead.
Chu Nanming nodded, then bowed and said, "In that case, please teach me."
"Come and fight!"
The Black Prison Prince sneered, and rushed forward with a spear in his hand, aiming directly at Chu Nanming's vital point between his eyebrows.
The two sides fought for the first time, and the battle was already fierce. The Black Prison Prince fought against three of them alone, and even when facing three Daozi-level geniuses, he was not at a disadvantage at all. No, it should be said that the Black Prison Prince was at ease.
He fought calmly. Facing the fierce attacks from the three great Daoist geniuses, he always responded to their moves with ease. It seemed that he felt no pressure at all when facing the three great Daoists.
This is a kind of absolute self-confidence, because he is confident that he is invincible in the same level, and he is confident that three people joining forces cannot possibly defeat him, so even if the three great Daoist-level geniuses join forces, he is not afraid at all.
"The heart of Taoism has just begun to take shape."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, he understood the mentality of the Black Prison Prince.
In the world of cultivating immortals, the heart of Tao is the cornerstone to a higher realm. If the heart of Tao is not perfect, the possibility of eventually surviving the Nascent Soul Heart Demon Tribulation is unlikely.
The real top powerhouses are at least those who have just begun to develop their Tao heart. Such people will not be influenced by external things, nor will their beliefs be easily shaken, so it is easier for them to overcome the calamity of their inner demons.
In addition, Tao heart can bring enough faith, which also has a great impact on combat.
Absolute self-confidence and composure allow the Black Prison Prince to maintain sufficient calmness. He can easily see through the weaknesses of his enemies and will not reveal any flaws due to nervousness.
At this time, the Prince of Black Prison was like this. He was fighting against three powerful enemies alone, but he could easily see through the strengths and weaknesses of the three powerful enemies and seize their flaws.
Therefore, in the continuous fighting, he gradually gained an absolute upper hand.
Apart from Chu Nanming who was barely able to face him head-on, Fairy Huoyao and Taoist Xuanfeng could no longer pose much of a threat to the Black Prison Prince.
"You are all confused. If you continue to fight like this, I'm afraid you will all die together!"
The Black Prison Prince spoke calmly, then seized upon a flaw in Xuan Feng Daozi, swung his spear fiercely to block Chu Nanming's attack, then drew the long sword from his waist and slashed him down.
The power of that rare ancient sword was irresistible. It pierced through all of Daoist Xuan Feng's defenses in an instant and cut along his fatal weakness, killing him instantly in mid-air.
“Xuan Feng…”
Seeing Taoist Xuanfeng fall, Fairy Huoyao was horrified and wanted to rescue him but it was too late.
The Black Prison Prince killed Xuan Feng Daozi with one move, but he said calmly: "I said, I will send you to hell together."
As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Black Prison swung his sword again and stabbed at Fairy Huo Yao's forehead.
At this moment, strong winds came from the sky, and an illusory continent appeared to be suspended above the sky.
Among them, egrets flap their wings, cranes soar into the sky, there are flowers, birds, fish, insects, and an illusory and hazy man in green.
"The south wind knows my wishes and blows my dreams to Xizhou."
The man sighed, picked up a wisp of breeze and threw it into the battlefield.
In an instant, the breeze turned into a sword, transformed into a destructive sword energy that broke through the air, instantly pierced through the blockade of the Black Dragon Taoist soldiers, and stabbed towards the Black Prison Prince's forehead on the spot.
This sword, so calm and composed, conceals a hint of deadly murderous intent.
"Humph--"
Faced with such an attack, the pupils of the Black Prison Prince suddenly condensed, and he turned around and stabbed at Fairy Huo Yao with his sword.
But at this moment, the sword transformed from the breeze dissipated when it was about to collide, and it was like a breeze passing by, leaving no trace, only lifting the skirt of the Black Prison Prince.
The Black Prison Prince did not care about Chu Nanming and Fairy Huo Yao who lost the Black Water Snake and escaped through the gap.
He just looked at the hazy figure in the sky, with a faint smile on his face.
"A quasi-great magical power. I never thought that there would be such an amazing person in the Seven Domain Alliance."
"Meng Nanfeng, that's quite interesting."
The Black Dragon Commander on the side saw this and immediately prostrated himself on the ground and said, "The Demon General was incompetent and failed to stop the two. Please forgive me, my lord."
"Get up."
The Black Prison Prince was very calm. He helped the Black Dragon Commander up and said, "It's not your fault. That man has cultivated pseudo-divine power. He might be able to fight against the Fake Infant Ancestor. He is considered a top genius in the Cangling Sea."
At this point, the Black Prison Prince turned around and looked at the Black Water Mystic Snake. He personally untied the black gold iron chain on his body, and took out a rare third-level healing pill to heal his wounds.
After doing all this, the Black Prison Prince calmly asked: "I am in need of a right-hand man. If you are willing to help me, I will treat you as a brother."
"If you don't want to, you can leave after serving me for a hundred years."
The Black Water Mystic Snake survived the catastrophe, and seeing him take out a rare elixir to heal his wounds, he immediately transformed into a human form and prostrated himself on the ground, saying: "I cannot repay you for saving my life. From now on, Hei Nie is willing to be your vanguard."
"Hahaha."
The Black Prison Prince smiled calmly, patted the Black Water Mystic Snake on the shoulder and said: "I don't want a vanguard, I want a real left and right arm."
"You are the king of the Black Water Mystic Serpent. One day you will become the peerless demon king that shakes the world. Why do you despise yourself so much?"
"Remember, from now on you are my brother."
When the Black Water Snake heard this, he felt his blood boiling and had a feeling of dying for his friend.
It's not that he is simple. He is of royal blood and has a proud and arrogant personality. However, he was easily suppressed by the False Infant Ancestor of the Five Elements Taoist Sect and was trampled in the dust like a beast.
The Black Prison Prince is a true spirit of heaven and earth, and his status is ten generations more noble than that of the Xuan Gang Patriarch, but he treats him so well. How can he not be excited?
At this moment, the Black Water Snake took a deep breath and immediately bowed to the ground with great piety.
"..."
"This Black Prison Prince should not be underestimated."
Ye Linyuan took back the puppet, and a heavy feeling rose in his heart.
In the thousands of years of his past and present lives, this Black Prison Prince should be the Jindan cultivator with the strongest mind, courage, and skills that Ye Linyuan has ever seen.
In the entire layout of the Black Water Mystic Snake, Ye Linyuan believed that the Black Prison Prince had already been hiding in the dark, but he never made a move.
By the time the Black Water Mystic Snake was severely injured one after another and was stepped on into the dust and mud by the Xuan Gang Ancestor before he could attack again, he had already become a life-saving hero in the Black Water Mystic Snake's heart.
In the battle, he fought one against three and displayed an almost invincible fighting power, which demonstrated his own strength and potential.
After Fairy Huo Yao and others escaped, he did not blame the Taoist soldiers who blocked the heaven and earth. Instead, he comforted them. It can be seen that this person is by no means harsh to his own people.
Taking out the third-level rare healing pill is not only to heal the Black Water Snake, but also to replenish its essence to break through the deficiency of royal blood and increase the success rate of forming a baby in the future.
The fact that he first took out such a precious healing elixir without asking the other party to promise anything in exchange for healing, nor did he ask for a favor in return, also shows that the Black Prison Prince is generous with rewards to his own people.
As for the Black Water Mystic Snake, he treated it as a brother, which made the Black Water Mystic Snake submit to him willingly.
With all these factors, as long as the Black Water Mystic Snake still has a trace of conscience, it will most likely become the most loyal and staunch subordinate of the Black Prison Prince.
Even if he breaks through to become a Nascent Soul Demon Emperor in the future, the Black Water Mystical Snake will never betray him.
Even if the Black Water Mystic Snake was an ungrateful person, it would not dare to do such a thing, because if it dared to betray the Black Prison Prince who was so good to it, who would dare to believe any of his promises?
Even if he wanted to betray, it would most likely be seen by the outside world as a self-torture tactic by the two of them.
It can be said that the Black Prison Prince completely subdued a future Nascent Soul Demon King with just a few simple operations, and he was the type that would absolutely not betray him.
"The mind, skills, and courage of this Black Prison Prince are almost perfect."
"Among the second generation of the major forces in Cangling Sea, I'm afraid no one can defeat this man. Only the older generation can possibly fight him."
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly, his brows slowly frowning.
He had a feeling that the Black Prison Prince was an extremely confident man, and he was conceited that no one among his peers could be his rival.
Whether in terms of mind, courage, or skill, he can be on par with the old monster in the Nascent Soul stage, so he always fights with Chu Nanming and others with the mentality of being superior to the Golden Core stage.
Just like an elder instructing a younger generation, everything Chu Nanming and others did seemed so clumsy and crude in his eyes.
Otherwise, with Chu Nanming's strength of the Great Perfection of the Golden Core, even if he was inferior to the Black Prison Prince who was born with the Nine-Patterned Golden Core, he should not be completely crushed.
"It's Meng Nanfeng, this person is not simple either."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes.
Meng Nanfeng is the head of the Renshui Sect, and he has only reached the great perfection of the Golden Core Realm. However, in this battle to save Chu Nanming and others, he easily defeated the Taoist soldiers' formation in the blink of an eye. It can be seen that this man's strength is absolutely incredible.
"From a menial disciple, he grew into a top sect leader of his generation."
"Meng Nanfeng's life is legendary, and now he has even demonstrated quasi-great magical powers. As long as he doesn't die early in the future, he will most likely be able to successfully break through to the Nascent Soul True Lord." (End of this chapter)
